Please, the place was never locked up or gated. Before the building was taken down, the gates were wide open for anyone to walk in. He’s full of shit. The kids were always in there. People walked their dogs in there. People went on the docks too.

Only when it posed as a liability did he do something about it. Initially, he started to take down the building without proper demo permits or even a fence, he was subsequently shut down, and then re-started after all his ducks were finally in a row. Bastard.

But I digress, glad to see the kids made a video of their youth with something they had fun doing.

I worked at Danza’s for almost ten years before becoming a fireman. I have so many great memories of that place and all the friend who I got jobs for there. All the parties we worked and all the beer we took from Albert, Robert and Charlie (they ran the place). R.I.P. Danza’s Paradise Restaurant and Yacht Club!!

I have such fond memories of this place and it is so sad to see it now. I remember back in 85 or 86 coming here playing all of us kids and jumping in the pool doing canon jumps. The old ladies would scream and say watch the hair!! I remember hanging out with domenica danza and I had the biggest crush on your brother vinny!! Going to the bar having shirley temples!!!! LOL. The best calamari ever made!!!! This place will sure be missed

Hey! I remember the PYC from way back!! My grandparents were one of the original owners!! I was one of the lifeguards there in 1976!
I had so much fun!! The old ladies would yell at the kids, and we had nicknames for the old people.
WOW!!
